It is an open forum and an opportunity for attendees to participate in intercultural exchange, active learning and sharing of best practices with experienced museum professionals and researchers.

The Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM)

The Graduate School of Creative Arts and Media (GradCAM) is a shared space of structured doctoral studies and research support. The School is a centre for creative research development; a framework for critical interdisciplinary dialogue; and a permeable institution of enquiry that facilitates, promotes and leads the interaction between cultural practice, educational practice and the everyday world of work and innovation beyond the academy. GradCAM is working in close collaboration with the Nordic Artistic Research Network whose members are Glasgow School of Art, Valaand Academy, Luca School of Art, Bergen Arts Academy and Oslo National Academy of the Arts to help realise the Graduate School.

The School began operation on February 1st 2008 with an initial intake of nine fully-funded research scholars. Since 2012 the Graduate School has been funded by the DIT and to date 22 students have successfully graduated. There are currently (2017) 15 students fully funded within GradCAM. On 6th February 2018, GradCAM will Celebrate its 10 year Anniversary.

Royal Armouries (Leeds, UK)

The Royal Armouries is the United Kingdom’s national museum of arms and armour, and one of the most important museums of its type in the world.

Its collection of about 150,000 items, including our library and archive material, is displayed and housed across its sites, in its historical home in the Tower of London, at its purpose-built museum in Leeds, and at Fort Nelson near Portsmouth. In 2005 the Museum acquired the Pattern Room Collection, started in 1631 by Charles I and enhanced by the British Armed Forces over the years, which is now housed at the Royal Armouries purpose-built National Firearms Centre.

The Royal Armouries was established in its present form by the National Heritage Act (1983) and is a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. It currently employs 183 staff and receives nearly 2 million visitors a year across the three sites.
